Published

Author(s)

Stephen Quinn, Daniel Eliot, Michael Prebil, Greg Witte, Matthew Smith

Abstract

This Quick-Start Guide (QSG) draws on concepts and practices from enterprise risk management, cybersecurity risk management, and workforce management to help organizations improve communication about cybersecurity risks and to plan and implement workforce decisions based upon risk reality and planned risk responses. The scope of this QSG will vary depending on the user, but generally applies at the organization level, where cybersecurity risks of multiple systems are managed, and at the enterprise level, where senior leaders take on unique risk management responsibilities spanning multiple organizations. This QSG addresses the need for agile, continuous workforce adaptation to rapidly evolve for emerging threats and technologies.
